Importing Data from Access to An Excel Sheet
Hello Everyone,
I am currently importing data into an excel sheet from an Access query. I go to Data/ Import External Data/ Import data, and on the Select Data Source I find the Shared Drive (S:\) and then find the folder where the .mdb is found. Now every month the path is the same, only the name of the .mdb file changes its, basically I get a new batch of information for the new month. What I want to look into is the possibility of creating a Macros that promps the user for the file name they need to import the data from and have the system do the importing for them and drop the imported data beginning with Cell A1. The Command button for this operation is not in the actual sheet were the imported data is going, it is in a sheet I call €śCase Control€ť, the data needs to be propagated to the €śImpData€ť sheet. Thank you. |

Turn on Macro recorder while performing the operation. Then post the code
and I will make the changes to select a file name. "Memphis" wrote: Hello Everyone, I am currently importing data into an excel sheet from an Access query.

I created two versions of the macro. the 1st the same as you had. Then 2nd
I removed some optional parmaeters that the macro recorder added. Not sure if the 2nd method is going to worl because I may of taken out too many options. Try both.

I'm curious why the 2nd didn't work. if you have time delete lines from the
1st macro one at a time and see which ones you can remove and still get the macro to run. In know the ones with Null parameters can be removed. I'm pretty sure this will work. I believe it is easier to maintain a macro when it doesn't contain unnecessarry parameters.
